Classes for online devices

People who want to learn how to email, shop online and surf the net are being invited to an IT class.

Classes are aimed at over 50s who may not be familiar with tablet devices or Windows 10 and need assistance.

Dubbed Tea and Tablet, the classes are run by Lightburn Elderly Association Project (LEAP) and have been well received in Rutherglen and Cambuslang.

One attendee said:“My daughter had bought me a new iPad for Christmas and I didn’t have the first clue how to work it. The iPad class has taught me so much and I now feel confident enough to do some online shopping and even download a new book.”

LEAP’s new block of classes, held at 197 Hamilton Road, Halfway, start the week beginning May 2 and run for eight weeks until the week beginning June 19. The timetable is as follows:

Tuesdays, 10am-midday: Android tablet; Tuesdays, 1pm-3pm: Windows 10, computer and internet; Wednesdays, 10am-midday: iPad.
